- Fixed 3.3 V output with ±0.01% load and line regulation ensuring stable digital logic supply under varying spacecraft power bus conditions
- Hermetic TO-3 metal package with 5.8 V to 12 V input range and 0.95 V dropout voltage for efficient regulation from unregulated satellite bus rails
Applications
The RHFL4913ESY3305V is designed for satellite on-board computer power supplies, space instrument electronics, and military avionics where ionizing radiation environments make commercial regulators unreliable. Its radiation-hardened silicon process maintains regulation performance through total ionizing doses encountered during multi-year low-Earth-orbit or geostationary satellite missions. The hermetic metal package provides outgassing-free operation compatible with vacuum and vibration environments found in launch vehicles and space platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What total ionizing dose can the RHFL4913ESY3305V withstand and how does this translate to satellite mission life?
The RHFL4913ESY3305V is characterized to withstand total ionizing doses up to 300 krad(Si) without parametric degradation beyond datasheet limits. In a low-Earth orbit at 550 km altitude, typical TID accumulation rates of 10 krad/year yield a guaranteed margin through a 30-year satellite lifetime, while in medium-Earth orbit with higher trapped proton flux at 5,000 km, the 300 krad budget supports over 10 years of continuous operation in mission-critical power regulation circuits.
What is the dropout voltage of the RHFL4913ESY3305V and how does it affect efficiency on a 5 V spacecraft bus?
The RHFL4913ESY3305V has a typical dropout voltage of 0.95 V, meaning the input must stay at or above 4.25 V to maintain a regulated 3.3 V output. From a 5 V spacecraft secondary bus, the power conversion efficiency is approximately 66%, with 0.95 W dissipated as heat per ampere of load current. In a thermally constrained spacecraft design, this heat must be conducted to a radiator panel, making thermal interface design a key factor in the power subsystem layout.
How does the RHFL4913ESY3305V's line and load regulation compare to commercial LDOs in precision analog instrument designs?
The RHFL4913ESY3305V specifies a maximum line and load regulation of 0.0132%, which is tighter than most commercial-grade LDOs rated at 0.1% to 0.5%. For a 12-bit ADC powered from the 3.3 V rail, a 0.0132% output voltage variation corresponds to less than 0.5 LSB of ADC reference drift, preserving measurement accuracy in space spectrometers and scientific payloads where supply noise directly contributes to instrument noise floor.
What heavy-ion immunity does the RHFL4913ESY3305V provide against single-event effects in the Van Allen radiation belts?
The RHFL4913ESY3305V is characterized for single-event latch-up (SEL) immunity at linear energy transfer (LET) values up to 60 MeV·cm²/mg, covering the heavy-ion environment encountered in geostationary and medium-Earth orbits where cosmic ray protons and heavy ions are abundant. SEL immunity prevents destructive latch-up currents that could damage the regulator or the spacecraft bus, eliminating the need for external current-limiting protection circuits in the power distribution unit.
Which package does the RHFL4913ESY3305V use and how is it mounted in a spacecraft power board?
The RHFL4913ESY3305V is housed in a hermetic TO-3 metal package with 3 leads, measuring approximately 26 mm × 40 mm. It mounts directly to the spacecraft chassis or a dedicated aluminum mounting plate using 2 screws through the package flange, providing a low thermal resistance path of approximately 2°C/W to the chassis wall. The metal case eliminates outgassing and moisture absorption that would compromise electrical isolation in a vacuum environment over multi-year missions.
